TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

yellowdaises:

answered my own question

download this contribution and you can find it under: includes/classes/

Thats actually a mistake on my part. The template includes the "Better Categories Fixed" contrib, and comes with all the files you need but it looks like I must have copied the sidebox file for the CSS Flyout menu as well. There should be another "categories" sidebox included that you should use. Unless you like the css flyout.

If you dont want to accidentally load it, the file:
\includes\templates\trublu\sideboxes\tpl_categories_css.php
should be deleted as the supporting files are not included.

Also, if I want to change the colour of the template from blue to green do I change the tile.jpeg or do I need to change it in the stylesheet.css file?

You need to change the tile to a green one with a gloss top.

Hi qhome..

I have a Q.. (I LOVE your template BTW!, it matches my existing home pages!)

I installed your template and all of my sideboxes are gone! I downloaded the latest version that you have and installed it, but I don't see my side boxes anymore.

please help.

thanks!

admin > tools > layout boxes controller > reset

then turn off/on the boxes you want/don't want

Right.. As getyourgameshere said.

Remember that all templates have their own box layout settings so newly installed templates will never have sideboxes, even if your previous one did.

oh.. thanks so much you guys! I am new to the Zen cart thing. :) Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone had a great XMAS!

I am currently working on the trublu template (Great template by the way) and have been trying to identify where the TOP CATEGORY codes are. I have been altering and playing about with many codes in the css - stylsheet_original file, but i result in changing the NAV BAR (With HOME ' MY ACCOUNT - SHOPPING CART etc).

Is there anyone that knows which code is the TOP CATEGORY. I mite have missed it. I want to edit it, as it is grey colour font with no background image and looks totally odd.

Hopefully i can add a background image. Is there anyway i can edit it to exactly the same as the other BAR on top of it (With HOME ' MY ACCOUNT - SHOPPING CART etc)?

Cheers

Hi! I love the blue template it works great with my site, but I am trying to move my logo over to center it on the top of the page and even when I change the #logo {text-align:center;), it doesn't move it. I am making the changes in Stylesheet_new. Anything else to point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I will be updating the TruBlu template for 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 and correcting a lot of poor design choices that I made in the current version. Namely the removal of having 2 CSS files (this was a 1.3.5 confusion). As well as some fixes to the header code that I may have hacked incorrectly for my own uses and might have even removed the Top Category code.

I will try to get that out this week and hopefully that will help you with some of the problems you guys are having.

qhome, the wordings on the bottom of the Product Listing page:
"This product was added to our catalog on Wednesday ..."
is aligned to the center. Hence, if runs more than 1 line, it appears quite odd.

Ill be sure to keep an eye on that when i update. Thanks :)

I have one question. I am thinking of replacing the "Sales Message Goes Here" as taught here:https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=127

However, with your custom template, the text of "Sales Message Goes Here" is gone. If I would to create **/includes/languages/english/trublu/header.php **, and replace 2 lines: HEADER_ALT_TEXT and HEADER_SALES_TEXT

// added defines for header alt and text
  define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '192px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '64px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

with my company name and tagline, it can't be seen on the store front. Turns out that it is hidden behind the "logo.gif".

If I remove logo.gif, I can see my company name as changed in the HEADER_ALT_TEXT but not the Tagline in HEADER_SALES_TEXT . In addition, I couldn't change the style of the new text, no matter how I tried.

This is very different from under the classic template where changes made to the line (either in text or style) in HEADER_SALES_TEXT under /includes/languages/english/classic/header.php would be seen on the right hand side of the header on the store front.

Can you advise me on what am I missing here? Thanks.

Ya see my post on bottom of page 5. This is part of that header code that I hacked and need to fix.

Hi

I am new on Zen-Cart forum!

qhome..

I have downloaded the TruBlu template, this is great template btw, it matches my existing home pages, hovewer I have 2 problems with it.

I need to use EZpages in the header and footer and TruBlu don´t works very well there.

Header = words made a mistake with the color of the background and they can not be seen :wacko:

Footer = EZpages don´t works there. I removed the footer.php included with their template and I added the original zen-cart 1.3.6, this works ok :lamo: , but this can not obtain the blue color of the background as the header.php. :cry:

I don´t know programming of PHP but I want to use your templeate. Iif you can help me to fix this inconvenience. I will be very grateful. :D

I know programming (other languages) I think that this is not dificult to fix it for who made the template but it demand time.

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

:p :thumbsup:

Thanks for the update. I look forward to downloading your newest version.

OK I finally got around to finishing this up.

DOWNLOAD LINK IN MY SIGNATURE
(might have to wait until mod approves it)

TruBlu v1.5

IMPORTANT!! BE SURE YOU REMOVE THE OLD stylesheets:
stylesheet_original and stylesheet_New!!

Finally Updated:

• 1.3.6 compatible
• Converted everything to a single stylesheet file.
• Fixed header to keep ezpage/sales message code
• Fixed some bg images
• Improved bg color to blend with bg image.

Note that header has no special code in it. I only flipped the navbar with the header logo. So if you prefer the default look, you can delete the tpl_header from the template and it will still have the blue.

Lemme know if there are any problems.

The mods must be sleeping in :)
Here is the file for those who can't wait:

Also just tested to be 1.3.7 compliant as well :)
Even w3c validated :)

Minor Update:

• Fixed a few css designs that I forgot.

Only modified the stylesheet.css file, that's it.
